India vs New Zealand, 2nd T20I, New Zealand tour of India, 2026 - Highlights

Arshdeep Singh to Foulkes, FOUR, nicely done! Arshdeep does not get the yorker right, low full toss around off, Foulkes shuffles across and takes advantage of the square leg being inside the ring, clips it over and finishes the innings with a boundary

Arshdeep Singh to Foulkes, SIX, poor delivery, poor shot and the effort is not good enough near the rope. Nice, juicy full toss and Foulkes shuffles across, looks to flick it into the leg-side and the leading edge flies to fine leg. Varun gets around and goes with both hands, ends up parrying it over the rope. Arshdeep is not happy

Arshdeep Singh to Foulkes, byes, FOUR, oh no! These are handy runs. Low full toss outside off, Foulkes can't reach it and the ball is within the marker, the ball does not bounce and rolls to Samson, who does not bend enough to make the stop

Hardik Pandya to Santner, FOUR, lovely shot! Nothing much wrong with the delivery but a superb shot. Very full on leg, Santner clears his front leg and squeezes the flick backward of square. He played it fine enough and beat the fielder in the deep

Hardik Pandya to Santner, FOUR, thumped! Width on offer and Santner does not miss out. Hardik pushes it across and offers Santner the room, he slaps it in front of square and does not bother to run

Hardik Pandya to Foulkes, FOUR, this is turning out to be a handy little partnership. Fullish delivery around off, Foulkes lofts it down the ground and gets enough timing to beat Ishan's desperate dive near the rope

Harshit Rana to Santner, FOUR, cracked! Short of length and angled across, Santner stays leg-side and creates premade room, cuts it square and gives the sweeper no chance. Arshdeep does not even bother to chase it

Harshit Rana to Santner, FOUR, just over square leg. Poor execution. Square leg was brought in just before this ball, and Harshit bowls one on leg-stump, Santner whips it over the inner ring and picks up four more

Harshit Rana to Santner, SIX, Santner has to be the one to take New Zealand past 200. Mid-on was inside the ring but it is still a fabulous shot. Harshit misses the yorker on leg-stump, Santner lofts it with minimal followthrough of the bat and the ball flies over long-on

Hardik Pandya to Chapman, out Caught by Abhishek Sharma!! Chapman never looked settled. But he had to get a move on and perishes while trying to do so. Slower off-cutter, angled across the left hander and Chapman had to fetch the big heave, miscues it straight up and Abhishek comes in from long-on, settles under it and takes it safely. New Zealand are into the bowlers with still 19 balls remaining.. Chapman c Abhishek Sharma b Hardik Pandya 10(13)

Kuldeep Yadav to Santner, 1 run, 85.8ks short of length, Santner stays back and punches to sweeper cover

Kuldeep Yadav to Santner, FOUR, shot! Kuldeep overcooks the flighted delivery, full toss and Santner does not try to overhit the drive, times it down the ground and beats the long-on fielder comfortably

Varun Chakaravarthy to Santner, FOUR, poor delivery and even poorer effort from Arshdeep. 94.1ks leg-break down leg, Santner glances it fine and Arshdeep gets across, dives over the ball and allows it to escape past him

Kuldeep Yadav to Ravindra, out Caught by Arshdeep Singh!! Second wicket for Kuldeep. The set batter is gone. India have wickets in consecutive overs and slowly gaining the upper hand. This would have been a wide but Ravindra perishes by chasing after it. Floated up outside off, spins further way and actually Ravindra does well to reach it, he gets a thick outside edge and the ball lobs to short third, Arshdeep comes in and takes a good low catch. Ravindra c Arshdeep Singh b Kuldeep Yadav 44(26) [4s-2 6s-4]

Shivam Dube to Mitchell, out Caught by Hardik Pandya!! Dube strikes! He has turned into somewhat of a golden arm in the recent few games. Has developed this knack of picking wickets and takes just three balls for him to break this partnership. 108.8ks slower off-cutter, the line is outside off and Mitchell has to reach for the big shot, he loses his bottom hand and miscues it straight up. Hardik has been in the catching zones today and picks up his third catch, quite calmly. Mitchell c Hardik Pandya b Shivam Dube 18(11) [4s-3]

Shivam Dube to Mitchell, FOUR, nicely done! Off-pace short of length delivery, Mitchell waits and pulls it in front of square, there are two fielders in the deep and he split them perfectly. Dube was not happy with something and points it out to SKY - seemed like the positioning of Kuldeep at deep backward square

Varun Chakaravarthy to Mitchell, no run, India lose a review. That looked close but Mitchell had done enough to get himself out of the line. He went down on his knee, misses the googly and is struck on the back thigh. The impact is just outside off and Mitchell carries on..

Varun Chakaravarthy to Ravindra, FOUR, shot! Ravindra does well to reach that. This would have been wide number three. But Ravindra crouches low and flat-bats it straight back over the bowler. The bottom hand comes off the bat handle but the ball still races away

Abhishek Sharma to Mitchell, FOUR, back to back fours to end the over. Overcooks the flighted delivery and Mitchell does not miss out, once again he goes down the ground, drills it past Abhishek and the ball races away..

Abhishek Sharma to Mitchell, FOUR, shot! That's classic Mitchell. Floated up on leg, he clears his front leg and drives it past Ravindra. No chance for long-on

Abhishek Sharma to Mitchell, 2 runs, 85.3ks flighted delivery, Mitchell drives uppishly inside out and the long-off fielder tidies up, easy couple

Kuldeep Yadav to Phillips, out Caught by Hardik Pandya!! Nope. Spoke too soon. Kuldeep does have the last laugh. Phillips had no clue about this. He had played him reasonably well till this ball, but does not pick the googly. Floated up and invites Phillips for the big shot, he looks to go against the spin to the leg-side, gets a leading edge and the ball balloons towards backward point, simple catch for Hardik. Just when a partnership was ensuing, India strike back. Phillips c Hardik Pandya b Kuldeep Yadav 19(13) [4s-2 6s-1]

Kuldeep Yadav to Phillips, FOUR, shot! Another NZ batter who is winning the battle today. Conway did it against Arshdeep, now Phillips versus Kuldeep. Short and drifting away, Phillips stays back and cracks it in front of square. No chance for the sweeper..

Kuldeep Yadav to Phillips, FOUR, unlucky! But that's how it goes. 84.1ks floated up outside off, he makes Phillips reach for it, would have been a wide, but Phillips gets an outside edge and the ball races away fine

Kuldeep Yadav to Phillips, SIX, now Phillips joins the act. He takes on Kuldeep and launches him over the rope. Flighted delivery, bit quite there for the lofted shot, but Phillips uses the long handle and lofts it straight down the ground

Varun Chakaravarthy to Ravindra, SIX, started the over with a six and ends it with a six. 93.8ks flighted delivery, but the length allowed Ravindra to get under it, he sinks to his knee and smokes the slog sweep over cow corner. This is 92 meters..

Varun Chakaravarthy to Ravindra, SIX, shot! Varun goes round the wicket and bowls a googly, Ravindra does not sit down on his knee, but crouches low enough to get under the ball and launches it over deep mid-wicket. That's massive - 94 meters..

Harshit Rana to Ravindra, SIX, he's making up for the maiden. 115.9ks off-pace delivery and Ravindra has picked the bones out of that, angled in and right in the arc, he loves heaving it to the leg-side and clears deep mid-wicket comfortably - 91 meters

Harshit Rana to Ravindra, FOUR, crunched! Ravindra starting to flow now. 134.8ks not quite full for the drive, Ravindra stays leg-side and meets it on top of the bounce, crunches it through extra cover and does not bother to run

Harshit Rana to Ravindra, SIX, pumped! That should get him going. Slower delivery, but right in the slot and Ravindra does not miss out, he delays his bat swing and lofts it over long-on

Varun Chakaravarthy to Seifert, out Caught by Ishan Kishan!! Now Varun strikes with his second ball. New Zealand go from 43/0 in 3 overs to 43/2 in 4.2 overs. Another wrong 'un and Seifert decides to take it on, he kneels down and looks to slog sweep, but the googly always bounces more, takes the top-edge and goes straight up, Ishan backtracks from mid-wicket and hangs on with the help of his chest, tumbles on his back and still manages to keep control of the ball. Seifert c Ishan Kishan b Varun Chakaravarthy 24(13) [4s-5]

Harshit Rana to Conway, out Caught by Hardik Pandya!! Harshit strikes second ball! He had the wood over Conway in the ODI series and needs only two balls to get him in the T20Is. 115.2ks slower delivery and Conway did not spot it, he's deceived for pace and through the shot early, toe-ends it towards mid-off, Hardik moves to his right and does a juggling act - juggles 3-4 times before getting control of the ball and continues juggling for fun after that. India needed that wicket.. Conway c Hardik Pandya b Harshit Rana 19(9) [4s-3 6s-1]

Arshdeep Singh to Seifert, FOUR, 18 from his first, 18 from his second. New Zealand are off to a flier. Another off-pace delivery but the line is completely wrong - down leg, Seifert swivels around and helps it to the vacant fine leg region

Arshdeep Singh to Seifert, FOUR, hat-trick of fours. 137.5ks full pitcher around leg, Seifert backs away and drills the drive through extra cover. No need to run for that..

Arshdeep Singh to Seifert, FOUR, Arshdeep continues to leak runs.. 118ks slower ball bowled into the wicket, Seifert takes it on and pulls it in front of square, meaty connection and the ball almost travels the distance

Arshdeep Singh to Seifert, FOUR, smashed! 135.7ks good length ball angled across, Seifert clears his front leg and gives himself the space to free his hands, thumps it over mid-on and clears the inner ring comfortably, couple of bounces and over the rope

Hardik Pandya to Seifert, FOUR, not in complete control but Seifert is off the mark. He shuffles inside the line and looks to lap the back of a length delivery, gets an under-edge and the ball races away to fine leg

Arshdeep Singh to Conway, FOUR, 18 from the first over. Conway is off and running. Just the first ball he was a bit nervy, but has been assured for the rest of the over. Another fullish delivery as Arshdeep still searches for the outswinger, Conway gets a nice stride in and creams the drive wide of mid-off. Once it passes the infield, there's no point chasing that

Arshdeep Singh to Conway, SIX, Conway is winning the battle today. 14 runs already! He charges down and gets a fullish delivery outside off, throws his bat on the big drive and slices it towards deep backward point. Big boundary but he manages to clear it..

Arshdeep Singh to Conway, FOUR, back to back fours. Full pitcher outside off, Conway leans forward and drives through cover. Not quite off the middle and Ishan manages to get there from deep point, but he takes the ball along with him as he slides over the rope

Arshdeep Singh to Conway, FOUR, lovely shot! That should ease him. 135.1ks good length ball, outside off and Conway waits for it to arrive, opens the bat face and drives it in front of square. There's a deep point in place but he had no chance
